This Italeri 1/35 M6 Gun Motor Carriage WC-55 kit provides modellers with an accurate representation of a WWII Dodge conversion. Based on the Dodge WC52 platform, the M6 served from late 1942 onward and was noted for its agility in the field. The original machine could hit around 90 km/h, thanks to the Dodge T-214 six cylinder powerplant.
Although built as an anti-tank mount, the 37 mm gun struggled against later tank armour and crews often adapted the vehicle to support infantry roles. The kit is a useful project for anyone interested in vehicle evolution and wartime logistics across Mediterranean, European and Pacific campaigns.
The parts are well detailed and assemble into a convincing static model suitable for dioramas or display cabinets. Painters and weathering enthusiasts will find clear references in the moulded details to bring the WC-55 to life on a small scale.
